Check out this article. Most all of the oils test out the same until you scroll all the way down to the bottom of the list. I knew that Royal Purple oil was terriffic stuff from other info I have read, but look at the results here. Huge difference!!! They make a 20 - 50 motorcycle oil that is all I use in my Dyna.

Didn't See mobil 1 20-50 V-Twin in there any where? As stated you can make any test end the way you want if you do it right........
Rember the slick 50 adds on tv where they start it in a block of Ice with no oil or no oil pan on the block ....but spray the crank with a fire hose.....
The MAIN job of oil is to COOL a Motor...... So the Ice block or fire hose will make it look good for a short time lol

This is interesting reading...pretty much says synthetic is better than dino, and motorcycle-specific oils are a total waste of money...Was done by Motorcycle Consumer News...so they have nothing to gain.

This might be ripe for some wiki research. I think Olive oil would be a much better choice for good health.....

after 198,723 miles i switched from mobil 1 to royal purple in my ford f-150...i now have valve clatter when starting on cool mornings. IMO mobil 1 is a superior oil. using h-d syn 3 in my '09 RK...no complaints in 29 k.
